Metalation of C6H6 has been known for a long time as a aside reaction occuring in refluxing benzene solutions of Rh2(CO)4(TPP) (TTP = tetraphenylporphyrin). Rather than representing the intrinsic reactivity of this complex, such hydrocarbon activation proceed via RhII(por) and RhIII(por) derivatives resulting from oxidation can be extended to other aromatic substrates and represents an effecient synthetic route to certain organometallic RhIII(TPP) derivatives.
